~ THANK YOU ~

A heartfelt Thank You to all the contributors to the Archives.

Permit me to thank in particular Bruce Behnke, Reinhold Behringer, H.R.Czwiertnia, Robert Finley, Ed Griffin, Makoto ('Chuu') Hirokawa, Akihisa ('K&A') Kanda, Malcolm Messiter, Kazumi ('Raff') Nakade, Faren Raborn, John Sankey, Mike Starke, Ken Stillwell, Nobuo ('Suginoko') Sugimura, Wesley Venable, Toru ('Moclin') Yaskawa, and Masahiko ('Yokochan') Yokota for their great quality sequences. Without the efforts of all these wonderful people, these Archives would certainly not be possible.

The sequences prepared by myself are marked with an asterisk (*). Credit is due for all the others to their respective compilers.

If you object to the presence of one of your sequences in these archives, let me know right away - it will be immediately removed. HOMEGATE makes no other warranties express or implied as to the copyrights of the material included in these archives.

• Sources: Asking me for ANY particular piece of music or source!
  If it isn't in the Archives - I haven't got it or it is copyrighted.
  I suggest you explore the LINKS offered at the bottom of this page.
• FTP Sites: Asking me for a list of our ftp sites. That's in our FTP LIST.
• CMA by FTP: Asking me for an ftp site to download the whole Archives at once. There's none. Besides, this would violate the ARCHIVES' COPYRIGHTS.
• Submissions: Asking me how to submit a sequence. Submit one only after you've read these INSTRUCTIONS and followed them to the letter.
• Wrong Note: Telling me there's a problem in, or with, a sequence - unless it's mine. Tell the contributor! (If you cannot find his or her email address in the CONTRIBUTORS' LIST or in an [Info] file - I don't have it.)
• Mac Users: Asking me about Macintosh usage. (All I know is given BELOW).
• Non-Windows: Asking me for non-Windows implementation of our software. That probably won't happen in the foreseeable future. (Ask MS to port VB to the Mac!)
• My Address: As for my address, it's THERE.
• About My Company: Please see the HomeGate Home Page.
• About Me: Please see my Vanity Page.
• How To: If you want to learn how to setup a page or server offering midi files,
  please read the MIDIGATE page carefully.
• No Sound(1): If you cannot hear any sound - CHECK YOUR MIDI MAPPER or MIDI DRIVER PROPERTIES! (Don't ask me how to do that: Please read your soundboard's and Windows' documentation.)
• No Sound(2): If you can't hear any broadcasts while using one of our ID LOGIC Simulators, it is because they ARE simulators! (Even the best of software will not turn your computer into a radio receiver...)
• Other: Any other topic is probably already covered in these Notes, or in any one of the other pages which are linked herein. Particularly in...
  • HomeGate Corporation and HOMEGATE
  • PRS Corporation and ID LOGIC
  • Pierre R. Schwob
  • MidiGate
  • CD Gate
  • World Time Clock

• So please do avoid sending me email for any of the above. Thank you.

• If you like the Archives.
• If there's an error in the Archives.
• If you wish to have one of your sequences removed from the Archives.
• If you wish to copy any element from the Archives. But first, read THIS.
• If you wish to bulk license one of the programs in our FTP Sites.
• If you wish to register one of our shareware programs in our FTP Site.
• If you wish to compliment me on one of our freeware programs in our FTP Site.
  
• If you wish to MIRROR the Archives in a timezone or continent which is not already serviced. But please read THIS first.

• See the Macintosh MIDI User's Internet Guide.
• BigSky MacEzine suggests ╡Zak, a program that lets Mac users play MIDI directly from the WWW.
• Paul Constantine recommends Arnaud's MIDI Player. AMP allows one to change the instruments for various tracks, although it won't save the changes, but does allow one a limited amount of playing around. The program can be obtained from any Info-Mac archive; such as this one.
• Marc Landau suggests Crescendo. Marc tells me it's an excellent plugin that allows for realtime playback of all the CMA midi files.

Tom Callahan writes: As of version 3.0 of Netscape Navigator for Mac, either the LiveAudio plug-in or the Quicktime plug-in will play any MIDI file. It comes preconfigured to use LiveAudio (which is included with Navigator 3.0), which seems to do a good enough job. And Quicktime 2.5's Movie Player can open any MIDI file, regardless of file creator, so you don't need to use ResEdit to be able to open them.

Anonymous writes: Resedit certainly is not needed at all. Just drag any of your files onto the freeware --Midi It-- icon to make fully Mac friendly MIDI type. Drag in large groups, takes about one second per file. Then click on file to translate to Movie Player MIDI, save in the self-contained version, organize in folders, and group-drag files onto Yplay, another freeware, far the handiest MIDI player for Mac.

Note from PRS: Do not email me any questions about any of these programs. I didn't write them, can't test them, and don't know anything about them.
